Hi,

I have seen many people on many websites posting their BTC/ETH addresses publicly for donations.
Is it absolutely ok and safe to show them? I think so but just wanted to get some opinions from experienced people.

Thanks

That's okay, as long as you don't show your username and password on that account your bitcoin is safe. I'll give you my bitcoin address
and you can send me some. Cheesy

just kidding!

A Bitcoin address can be compared to your Bank account number at a Bank. You can give that address to anyone, without exposing your PIN/Password or your Private key. So yes it is safe to give your Bitcoin address to people.

You might become a target, if you stored 1000s of bitcoins in that address and hackers or scammers link your real identity to that address. This is why I store 80% or more of my bitcoins on paper wallets. Even if they ID me, they will never get to those coins. I store them away from my home in a secret location. ^lol^

I for as my point of view its safe but little bit danger when some hacker type people watching you and wish to hack your account

Good luck in hacking the bitcoin address in my signature.
There is 0.00 bitcoins in it.
For some reason I don't believe hackers will find it very interesting.

In addition to that, bitcoin addresses are impossible to hack Grin

Yes. That's what addresses are for. I personally think that the only reason for hiding your addresses is if you want more privacy. For example, if you do not want your coins to be linked to your identity.

If you want to disclosure an address for donations, there is nothing to worry about.

Well, this depends strictly on the purpose for which these addresses are being publicised. Fine! hackers or scammers all over, any rational pertaker should ensure taking cognisance of that. So, If not for a definite purpose , I see no reason for pubilicly disclosing your eth adresses, not to even talk of wallets safe probably for application or transactionary motives between or among members in d forum.The choice is yours.

yes its perfectly afe to display your address.
But the thing here is unless and untill you donot hold a lot of wealth on that particular address.
Cause you know hackers you will become a target then.
See this BTC/ETH address are basically free ,so lots of people people use multiple address for multiple purpose.
I hope now you understand what you have to do.
Never reveal your main wallet.. Tongue
